Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Among the Lotus Eaters (2023)
That's not an episode, that's assault
TV shows and movies need to stop using high pitched noises to make the viewer uncomfortable as a plot device.
First, many people are as sensitive to these noises as epileptics are to flashing images. So at least there should be a warning that this episode is almost 50% high pitched noises that cause nausea and discomfort.
Second, it's really a cheap shot, knowing well this is about the only physical reaction you can provoke from the TV screen. "The character feels strong discomfort so we make the audience feel the same, that's called immersion, people!" No it isn't, it's dumb and borderline assault.
In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)
Gee, what's with all the hate this gets?
Folks claiming she's killing "white guys" (did you miss the black female bus driver and the blond girl?) and "patriots" (terrorists planting bombs are patriots?). Really goes to show modern conservatives have a strange grip on reality.
A great time travel story with an interesting twist, a story of family and sacrifice. No need to politicize a review because the bad guys were white, sheesh.
Elements of Matter (2018)
Terrible
This feels like a middle-schooler tried to write a Woody Allen script. Dialogues are ripe with stuttering, unfinished sentences and in general feel like they're 100% improvised - by actors who failed improvisation class. One of the worst movies I ever watched (I actually hit STOP at halftime, something I pretty much never do), if this even classifies as "movie" and not "outtakes from high school impro class 101". Avoid.
